In one Of Harper's issues Is given very
hne illustration Of Roberts's celebrated paint
ing, known as "Doctoring Old Time IL
represents q typical old-timer, with his bel
lows, blowing the dust from an ancient clock,
with its cords and weights carefully secured.
One Of these clocks in this generation is ap-
preciated only as a rare relic
The suggestive name, "Doctoring Old
Time,n brings to our mind another version
Of the title, used for another purpose-"old
Time Doctoringn
We learn, through a reliable source, that
one of the most enterprising proprietary
medicine firms Of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medical
preparations used in the beginning Of this
century, and even before, with a view OF as
certaining why people in our great t-grand-
fathers time enjoyed a health and physical
vigor SO seldom found in the present genera
ton. They now think they have secured the
secret or secrets. They find that the prevail
ing opinion that then existed, that "Nature
has remedy for every existing disorder"
wAs true, and acting under this belief, our
grandparents used the common herbs and
plants Continual treSpass upon the forest
domain has made these herbs less abundant,
and has driven them further from civiliza-
ton, until they have been discarded as RENE
dial agents because Of the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure, and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory. Rochester, N. Y, has been press
ing Investigations In this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formulas. from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
to be sold by all druggists
They will, we learn, be known under the
generaltitle of "Warner's Log Cabin Rene
dies" Among these medicines will be a
"Sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver "Log
Cabin Hops and Buchu Remedy" for the
stomach, etc., LOG Cabin Cough and Con
sumption Remedy" a remedy called Scalp
ine," for the hair, "Log Cabin Extract" for
internal and external use, and an old valu-
able discovery for Catarrh, called "Log Cabin
Rose Cream" Among the list is also a LOG
Cabin Plaster" and "Log Cabin Liver

From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. lis believed
by many that with these remedies new era
is to draw upon suffering humanity, and that
the close of the nineteenth century will ses
these roots and herbs as compounded under
the title of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, as
popular as they we're at its beginning AL
though they come in the form of proprietary
medicine, yet they will be none the less well
come, for suffering humanity has become
tired Of modem doctoring and the public has
great confidence in any remedies put up by
the firm of which H. H. Warner is the head
The people have become suspicious of the
effects Of doctoring with poisonous drugs
Few realize the injurious effects following the
prescriptions of many modern physicians
These effects of poisonous drugs, already
prominent, will become more pronounced in
coming generations Therefore, we can cor
daily wish the old-fashioned new remedies
the best of success.
